Pump or no pump?

[CNovaJason]

Does anyone ever workout REALLY hard and not feel like they get a good pump? I do shoulders and I NEVER get a good pump. I do lateral lifts, overhead press, dumbell and barbell and also front lifts or rear delt work. I try to focus on getting the shoulder to do all the work but for some reason, I never get sore, nor do I feel ANY tightness in that muscle at all. I lack a good bit from the side view in the front delt and I try overhead presses for it, but it doesn't seem to work. I may just be crazy but I'm sure most of you understand haha j/k.........anyone who can help out, thanks to you.

Sometimes this is diet related. Are you dieting low carb?
Otherwise, I get this when trainign Biceps. Try lowering the weight and really focusing on the contraction of the muscle. The muscle mind connection is very powerfull.

lol.. i think feeling pumped is just momentary.. it doesn't mean feeling pumped after a work out means increase in size just muscle contractions.. while focusing of compound lifts will GUARANTEE size increase.. push presses and deads have made my shoulders and back more defined in only 2 months!!
